A Day of Rest

I got up at 5:50 this morning so I could watch the Chinese Grand Prix live on ITV1, and after that finished, went back to bed for a quick nap before getting up again at 12:50, so I could start the DVD recording the A1GP Netherlands GP so I could watch the F1 re-run with my Dad, before the final round of the British Superbike Championship. As I sit here watching the F1 re-run, I feel glad that I got up early as ITV have butchered the coverage that was shown this morning. I'll probably be watching the A1 GP race this evening, so expect Compton GP to be updated as and when I get around to it, and hopefully I'll understand the qualifying method by then!!

I have a problem next weekend though, as I tend to watch all of the F1 races live and next week it's the Japanese GP, and the coverage starts at 5am - but it's also the Bathurst 1000 on motorsTV. The Bathurst coverage starts at 10pm Saturday night, and doesn't finish until 8am Sunday morning! It's always an action packed race, so I don't want to miss it. What I'm going to have to do is record the F1 (which I do every race anyway), and watch it after the Bathusrt 1000, even though it makes me feel a little dirty as I don't like to watch F1 after the event.
